I have been terribly frustrated with some of the current issues in Malaysia. First, the Auditor-General’s Report 2006 outlined that ministries have been overspending with public funds. Including:

• set of screwdrivers(brand unknown) for RM224, which only worths RM34 per set on the market.
• Faber Castell Technical Pens for RM1,147 per set, which only worths RM160 per set on the market.
• 2 Tonnes Car Jack for RM5,741 per set, which only worths RM50 per set on the market.

These are no lies, though administration tends to label bloggers as liars. These report are from Auditor-General Malaysia(JABATAN AUDIT NEGARA MALAYSIA). I’m not in the mood to tell you more about this, please download and read the reports yourself.(In Bahasa Malaysia). More news on the TheStar Malaysia

Fellow Malaysians, Happy National Day to you all, for today is our country’s 50th year of independence. Are you satisfied with our country’s performance? Are you proud of our country’s achievements so far?

Most of my friends went for vacations, to Thailand, Singapore and some went to Hongkong. I have been staying at home today, had a mahjong session with my parents this afternoon, and rest of the time was spent thinking.

Young generation born around 1980’s in Malaysia, has seemed care less about the country. You can talk with them about latest movies, bistros, gadgets, cars, fashions, celebrities, or anything else, but not current issues in the country. Most of them will not have a clue about what’s really going on, even though they read newspapers, listen or watch news everyday. The traditional medias in this country have lost their credibility, heavily censored by the authority.

All these, happened in Johor Bahru, Malaysia recently.

Case #1

Early May, 28 year old pregnant woman, along with her husband and 3 year old son, on their way to downtown Johor Bahru. The husband stopped the car at a petrol station near Tampoi to answer nature’s call. Wife and son waited on the car. Robbers with knife showed up and knocked at the car’s window, threatened the woman with her husband’s safety. The woman gave in and unlocked the car door, prayed that the robbers was only after the valuables. The robbers hopped in the car and drove away, with the woman and her 3 year old son on board. The robbers drove the car to Plentong area, raped the pregnant in somewhere quiet, and took away all her valuables. After the robbers fetched another member on board, finally released the mother and son at Taman Permas Jaya.

Case #2

5th June, around 10 pm. A construction contractor with his female companion, headed to Danga Bay condo to visit their friend. They stopped at one petrol station beside Pasir Gudang highway to fuel up the car. 3 armed robbers showed up and forced them back into the car. The robbers then drove the car with the couple held hostages inside. The robbers then drove the car around Pasir Gudang area for an hour, finally stopped at Kempas area. The robbers gang raped the female victim inside a bush, and took away both victims’ valuables. The 4th robber drove another car and fetched the 3 robbers on the spot, then fled.

This is only for Malaysians. Foreigners, Ah Long means loan shark, or shylock in Malaysia.

Now, this is the second week since I’ve moved in to this new place. Praise our biggest land line phone company(TM, Telekom Malaysia, if you don’t know), not only my ADSL connection has no confirmed date of installation, and now the phone line has no dial tone. Been calling them at their telecare center, and the only answer I got is “The problem has been rectified. Please be assured that it will be fixed very soon”. Alright then, at least they have someone who speaks fluent English now.

Enough whining about Telekom, now I’m stucked with GPRS connection with my mobile phone. Look at the speed test result below, in year 2007 I’m still connected to Internet with this speed.
